Omelet

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Omelet scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Erythrobate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Frozen Breakfast, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 1,791 products we've analyzed.

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