Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate (As Preservatives)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
