Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Stuffed Crab Seafood scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed, Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Cod, Salmon, Soy)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
