Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Firecrackers 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.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor Enhancer (Yeast Extract, Salt)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
