Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Nacho Chicken Fries scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Plant Proteins (Isolated Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Appetizers, this product is more processed than about 39% of the 4,714 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
