Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Swanson Meat Turkey scores Highly 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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Poultry, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 2,120 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
