Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pepperoni Pizza scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean/Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite, Bha, Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Smoke Flavor, Natural Smoke Flavor, +1 more): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Cellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Erythorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
