Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Ham Base scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
