Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Hamburger Castle Bites scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
