Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Loaded Pretzel Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Fats (Of: Liquid And Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Other Additives (Dough Conditioner (Vegetable Gums, Wheat Flour, Mono And Di-Glycerides, Salt, Soybean Oil, Modified Cellulose, Enzymes), Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Emulsifiers (Vegetable Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Of: Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate 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.
