Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Potato Chips, Loaded Spud scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Chips & Crisps, this product is more processed than about 56% of the 10,682 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
