Shrimp Wonton

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Shrimp Wonton 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.
• Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

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

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
