Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Falafel Salad scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Industrial Enzymes (Feta Cheese (Cultured Pasteurized Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Potato Starch (Added To Prevent Caking))): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Prepared Salads, this product is more processed than about 43% of the 1,234 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
