Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sesame Soy Noodles scores Ultra-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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum. Oil: Sesame Oil): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
