Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Fish Sticks 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.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Textured Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate (To Retain Moisture), Sodium Hexametaphosphate (To Retain Moisture)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Seafood, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 7,747 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
