Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Philly Cheese Steak scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Vegetable Mono And Diglycerides,Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme And Soy Lecithin (Non-Sticking Agency); Onions): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
