Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chipotle scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Within Pickles & Relishes, this product is more processed than about 59% of the 10,255 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
