Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pie Shells scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Lard And Hydrogenated Lard With Bha And Bht Added To Protect Flavor): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
