Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Grated Topping scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partly Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Casein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Powder (To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
