Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Popcorn Shrimp scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Pregelatinized Rice Flour, Modified Potato Starch, Modified Food Starch, +1 more): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Potato Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Modified Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (To Retain Moisture)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
