Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Matzo Balls scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Matzo Balls (Passover Matzo Meal [Ground Matzo Meal Made From Passover Wheat Flour And Water], Whole Eggs, Water, Egg Whites, Cottonseed Oil, Salt, And Flavorings), Salt Monosodium Glutamate, Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
