Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Meat Loaf Sandwich scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Protein Concentrate, Caramel Color)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
