Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Oven Baked Cheese Curls scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Artificial Color (Contains Fd&C Yellow 6, Fd&C Yellow 5, Fd&C Red 40, Fd&C Blue 1)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Cheese [Cheddar And Blue (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes)]): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Phospahte): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Within Other Snacks, this product is more processed than about 65% of the 7,439 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
