Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Industrial Enzymes (Pasteurized Process Cheddar Cheese (Cheddar Cheese (Cultured Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto), Water, Palm Oil, Rennet Casein, Modified Potato Starch, Sodium Phosphates, Salt, Lactic Acid, Natural Flavor, Annatto Color)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Natural Flavors (Chili Paste (Chili Peppers, Flavor, Yeast Extract, Salt, Spices, Paprika, Beef Extract, Citric Acid, Oleoresin Of Paprika), Flavor (With Citric Acid)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
