Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, La Fe Corn Tamales, 4 Count, 16 Oz scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Coloring, Red 3)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Contains Less Than 1/10 Of 1% Of Sodium Benzoate As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
