Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pb&j Sandwiches scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Salt. Strawberry Jam: Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Soybean, Cottonseed And/Or Rapeseed)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
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.
