Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Meatless Patties scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein, Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Frozen Burgers & Patties, this product is more processed than about 52% of the 1,281 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
