Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Poutine Poppers 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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Modified Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Within Frozen Vegetables, this product is more processed than about 96% of the 6,343 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
