Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pepperoni Pizza 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.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Industrial Enzymes (Imitation Mozzarella Cheese (Water, Palm Oil, Food Starch-Modified, Whey, Rennet Casein, Salt, Kasal, Citric Acid, Trisodium Phosphate, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate [Used As A Preservative], Lactic Acid, Natural Flavor, Artificial Color, Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese [Pasteurized Part-Skim Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes]). Pepperoni: Pork): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
