Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Totinos Stuffed Nachos Queso scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Red Bell Peppers. Contains 2% Or Less Of: Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
