Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Chicken Pork): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate, Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Natural Flavors (Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.

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