Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, The Original Slider Cheeseburgers scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide, Calcium Peroxide, L-Cysteine Hydrochloride): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
