  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Gum Acacia, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
