Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Soft Taco Dinner Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
