Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Hickory Smoked Jerky scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Chicken): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Plant Proteins (Salt. Contains 2% Or Less Of Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor, Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Jerky & Meat Snacks, this product is more processed than about 42% of the 2,448 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
