Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Hickory Sampler scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
