Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Italian Breaded Calamari Rings 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.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (To Retain Moisture)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate & Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Natural Flavor): 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.
