Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Pepperoni Pizza scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin (Processing Aid)): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Pizza, this is among the less processed of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
