Quiche

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Quiche scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
