Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Breaded Shrimp Poppers scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Of: Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein, Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate & Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (To Retain Moisture)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
