Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Quarter Pound Veggie Burger scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Textured Soy Protein (Hexane Free)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Plant-Based Proteins, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 990 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
