Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Butternut Squash 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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Fresh Produce, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 6,649 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
