Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Spicy Chicken Patties scores Highly 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.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates. Battered With: Water): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
