Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors (Contains Autolyzed Yeast Extract)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.

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