Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ham & Cheese scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide, Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- & Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Mono- & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes, Enzymes And Lecithin): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
