Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Veggie Buffalo Wings scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Textured Soy Protein (Water Soy Protein Concentrate), Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Alginate, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Acetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Plant-Based Proteins, this product is more processed than about 85% of the 990 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
