Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Buffalo Style Chicken Breast scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Pectin, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
