What You Should Know

You'd find RAO'S Fire Roasted Vegetable Brick Oven Crust Pizza in the freezer aisle — an easy grab for weeknight dinners, movie nights, or last-minute entertaining. It delivers a comforting, slightly nostalgic frozen-pizza experience (crispy crust, stretchy mozzarella, roasted veggie notes), but the ingredient list — enriched flours with added vitamins and enzymes, dough conditioners like L‑cysteine, powdered cellulose anticaking agents and other formulated additives — signals industrial processing that prioritizes texture, shelf stability and convenience over minimally processed ingredients.

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?
