Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Beans & Legumes, this product is more processed than about 96% of the 4,710 products we've analyzed.

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