Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Mackerel Fillets scores Highly 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 (Thickener (Guar Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Canned Fish & Seafood, this product is more processed than about 91% of the 2,900 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
