Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Au Gratin Potatoes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Copn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cuture, Salt, Enzymes)Dehydrated Onion. Palm Oil): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Silicoalumate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
