Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Spam, Teriyaki scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Chicken): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Canned Meat, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 755 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
