In our analysis, Stuffed Crab scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
