Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): 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.
