Moo Beef Patties

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Moo Beef Patties 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.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Textured Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Natural Flavors (Flavor (From Partially Hydrogenated Soybean/Cotton Seed Oil)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% 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.
