Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Breaded Catfish Nuggets scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil (To Prevent Dusting)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Leaving (Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Monoglycerides, +1 more): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate (Msg)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
