Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

  • Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.

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