Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Mashed Potatoes scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (From Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 25% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
