Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch*, Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Powdered Cellulose [Added To Prevent Caking]): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Flavors, Smoke Flavoring, Flavoring): 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.
