Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chili Cheese Flavored Corn Chips scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
