Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pepperoni Pizza Handhelds scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
