Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Plant Powered Protein Salad Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Fresh Produce, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 6,649 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
