Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Twisted Bread Sticks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Interesterified Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes, Cheese Filling: Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (Pasteurized Part-Skim Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes). Topping: Interesterified Soybean Oil): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
