Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Cooked Salami scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Chicken): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 46% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.

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