Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): 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.
