Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pepperoni Thin Crust Pizza scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Wheat Protein Isolate (Wheat Gluten, Lactic Acid)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
