Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Dumplings & Chicken scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate (Nonfat Milk, Milk Protein)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
