Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Zatarain's, Crab Cake Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor (Including Milk), Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate (Flavor Enhancers)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
