Sausage Kolache

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Sausage Kolache 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.
• Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
• Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
