Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Franks in a Blanket scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Beef Added: Mechanically Separated Chicken): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Non-Hydrogenated Canola): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Sodium Acetate, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
