Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Scalloped Potatoes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.

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