Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Savory Chicken & Rice scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (2% Or Less Of Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
