Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Prosage Meatless Sausage scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Plant Proteins (Textured Plant Protein, Hydrolyzed Plant Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Non-Gmo Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
