Pandan Paratha

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening (Contains One Or More Of The Following: Palm Oil, Soya Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Blue 1 And Pandan Flavouring): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this is among the less processed of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.

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