Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Honey Bourbon Salmon scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor, Natural Flavoring, Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
