Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lower Sodium Pepperoni scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
