Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Crab Cakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
