Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Rice Asparagus Risotto scores Highly 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.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Frozen Sides, this product is more processed than about 43% of the 851 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
