Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Rice Dinner Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Including Hickory Smoke)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
