Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow Lake 5, Yellow 6 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Cheese (Cheddar Cheese [Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes], Disodium Phosphate, Enzymes, Xanthan Gum)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.

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