- Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine Hydrochloride): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes (Contains Wheat)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
