Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Plant-Based Burger scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Textured Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (2% Or Less Of: Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Burgers & Patties, this product is more processed than about 52% of the 1,281 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
