What You Should Know

You'll spot these in the frozen or refrigerated plant-based section — an easy grab for weeknight dinners, game-day appetizers, or kids' lunches. The product gives a nostalgic, indulgent vibe by mimicking classic corn dogs with a crispy batter and soft, meaty-style center. The long ingredient list (isolated gluten, refined flours, multiple vegetable oils, flavor extracts, emulsifiers and thickeners, added sugars and leaveners) and partial frying point to industrial manufacturing and a highly processed texture and shelf-stability typical of ultra-processed foods.

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?
