Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Calcium Stearoyl Lactylate, Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Cellulose, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Boxed Dinners & Sides, this product is more processed than about 53% of the 4,145 products we've analyzed.

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