Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Lobster Cakes 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.
Other Additives (Binder (Corn Starch, Methyl Cellulose, Egg White Powder, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.

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