Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tender Crispy scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono Anc Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Beef, Pork & Lamb, this product is more processed than about 91% of the 4,915 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
