Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Plant-Based Breaded Chicken Nuggets scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Wheat Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate, Fava Bean Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
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.
