Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Maple Pork Sausage scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Maple Flavor [Water, Propylene Glycol, Corn Syrup, Natural Flavor, Caramel Color, Maple Syrup, Sodium Benzoate (As A Preservative)]): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 88% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
