Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Small Curd Cottage Cheese 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.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Carbon Dioxide): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
