Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Flavored Ridged Potato Chips scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate (Flavor Enhancers)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
