Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Premium White Tilapia 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.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
