Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
