Stabilizers & Gums (Locust Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum. Raisins: California Seedless Raisins): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
