Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Plant-Based Chicken Fillets 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.
- Plant Proteins (Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Sodium Alginate, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Poultry, this product is more processed than about 80% of the 2,120 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
