Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mozzarella Planks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1. Battered With Water): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Mozzarella Cheese Planks (Pasteurized Part-Skim Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes). Battered With Water): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): 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.
