Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Southern Stroganoff Pasta Dinner Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate & Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
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.
