Supreme Original Pizza

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil. Low Moisture Part Skim Mozzarella Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Natural Flavors (Flavoring, Smoke Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Calcium Propionate (Preservative)And Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
