Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Parmesan Boneless Chicken scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% 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.
