Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Esskay, Creamed Chipped Beef scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Dehydrated Sweet Cream [Pasteurized Sweet Cream, Skim Milk Solids, Sodium Caseinate, Lecithin, And Bht]): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% 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.
