Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors (Contains Lipolyzed Butter Oil)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial 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.
