- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Nitrite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring, Natural Smoke Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes. Bacon: Cured With: Water): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Sandwiches & Wraps, this product is more processed than about 15% of the 1,978 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
