Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Baked Beans, Original scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavorings): 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.
