Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Beer Battered Crab Poppers scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Contains Less Than 2%: Modified Cornstarch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Microcrystalline Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Natural Beer Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Frozen Sides, this product is more processed than about 76% of the 851 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
