Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Lean Cuisine, Veggie Scramble scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Breakfast, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 1,791 products we've analyzed.
