Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

  • Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 45% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.
