Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Chicken Sandwich scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch, Modified Wheat Starch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Dough Conditioners (Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Within Beef, Pork & Lamb, this product is more processed than about 91% of the 4,915 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
