Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Essential Everyday, Long Grain & Wild Rice scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 25% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
