Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Rio Grande Foods, Refried Beans scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (0.03% As A Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Meat Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate As A Flavor Enhancer): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Beans & Legumes, this product is more processed than about 82% of the 4,710 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
