Honey Bbq Glazed Chicken Wings

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Honey Bbq Glazed Chicken Wings 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.
• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Natural Flavors (Grill Flavor (From Vegetable Oil), Hickory Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this is among the less processed of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.

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