Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lobster Macaroni & Cheese 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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Industrial Enzymes (Parmesan And Romano Cheese Blend [Pasteurized Cow'S Milk, {Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes}, Calcium Propionate {Preservative}]): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
