Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Rice, Beef scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Protein (Corn, Soy And Wheat)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor (Contains Milk)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 25% 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.
