Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Seasoning (Parmesan Cheese (Part Skim Cow'S Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Spices, Spice Extractives On A Dextrose Carrier, Dehydrated Garlic, Parsley, Onion Powder)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this is among the less processed of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.

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