Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tyson Proportion Timeless Recipe Fully Cooked Breaded, Glazed Assorted Chicken Pieces scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Phosphates): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Poultry, this product is more processed than about 80% of the 2,120 products we've analyzed.
