Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sweet & Spicy Meatballs scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Protein Concentrate, Caramel Color)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Modified Starches (Modified Rice Starch, Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate (With Caramel Color)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
