Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Uncooked Plant Based Ground! 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.
- Plant Proteins (Textured Pea Protein (Pea Protein Isolate, Tapioca Starch)): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Pea Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Modified Cellulose, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Plant-Based Proteins, this product is more processed than about 85% 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.
