Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Jennessee Honey scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch (Corn)): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan (Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Smoke Flavor (Water, Natural Hickory Smoke Concentrate)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
