Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pepperoni Pizza Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Powdered Cellulose (To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
