Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Plant-Based Nuggets 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.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
