Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ham, Egg & Cheese Muffin scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
