Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed, Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Seafood Flavor (Cod, Salmon)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

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.
