Shrimp Ring Sauce Included

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Shrimp Ring Sauce Included scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (For Moisture Retention). Cocktail Sauce: Water): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this is among the less processed of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
