Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, The Flame Grilled Pork Jerky 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.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Jerky & Meat Snacks, this product is more processed than about 42% of the 2,448 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
