Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pork and Cheese Spread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate (From Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Canned Meat, this product is more processed than about 88% of the 755 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
