Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
