Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Stuffed Cabbage scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate (With Caramel Color)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Natural Flavoring (Contains Milk), Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan With Dextrose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
