Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Virtuoso Classic Crust Pizza 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.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Pizza, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 4,362 products we've analyzed.
