Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Potato Bites 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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Sides, this product is more processed than about 76% of the 851 products we've analyzed.
