Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Steak Strips scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Papain (Sodium Metabisulfite, Maltodextrin, [Contains Sulfites]), Bromelain (Maltodextrin)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 25% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
