Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Meatless Chick'n Strips 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.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (From Plant Sources), Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Plant-Based Proteins, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 990 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
