Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Seafood Crab Cakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methyl Cellulose, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (Milk Deriavative)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
