Herb Breadcrumb Stuffing Mix

Barcode 5063334008703
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Herb Breadcrumb Stuffing Mix is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes maltodextrin, an industrially produced refined carbohydrate used as a texturizer and filler. This alone is sufficient to classify the product as UPF under the NOVA system. Other ingredients like fortified wheat flour, citric acid, and ascorbic acid are allowed in non-UPF products, but the presence of maltodextrin makes the overall product UPF.
