- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 45% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.
