Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Potato Chips scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

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

Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 56% 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.
