Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.

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