Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Old El Paso Green Chiles Refried Beans scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Lard): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
