Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Breast scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch, Modified Corn Starch, Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Gum Arabic, Pectin, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavors, Smoke Flavor. Coated With: Salt, Natural Flavor (Mustard), +2 more): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
