Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Kettle Cooked Potato Chips scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
