Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Five Spice Vegan Jerky scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Non-Gmo Soybean Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Vegan Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Jerky & Meat Snacks, this product is more processed than about 42% of the 2,448 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
