Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Roasted Beef Base scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Protein (Soy, Corn)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
