Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Turkey (With Natural Flavor)): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 45% 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.
