Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Rice & Sauce, Cheddar & Broccoli scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (From Milk), Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% 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.
