Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Imitation Crab Flakes scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 80% 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.
