- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors (Including Smoke)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
