Beef Ravioli Pasta

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Textured Soy Protein Concentrate (With Added Caramel Color)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
