Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ultimate Bratwurst scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup And Less Than 2% Of The Following: Salt, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bha): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Meats (Collagen Casing): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
