Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Meatless Soy Chorizo scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Textured Soy Protein (Soy Flour)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 45% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
