Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Hot and Spicy Chicken scores Ultra-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.
  • Natural Flavors (Hot Sauce (Aged Cayenne Peppers, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Water, Soybean Oil, Chili Pepper, Cellulose Gum, Modified Corn Starch, Salt, Xantham Gum, Guar Gum, Garlic Powder, Natural Flavor)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% 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.
