Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Italian Style Beef Meatballs scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Plant Proteins (Textured Soy Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Grill Flavor (From Sunflower Oil), Natural Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 88% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.

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