Modified Starches (Less Than 2 Percent Of The Following: Modified Corn Starch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates, Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, Carob Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
