Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pretzel Burger scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine Hydrochloride, Azodicarbonamide (Ada), Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate (Ssl)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
