How scoring works

The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.

This product: 7 of 9 groups not on the label. No confirmed organic claim.

Our research notes

What to know before you choose this frozen pizza

The recorded ingredient label lists 23 ingredients, led by enriched wheat flour, water and low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese. Worth noting: it lists added sweeteners (bht and citric acid added to help protect flavor and chicken and beef), natural flavors, seed oils and artificial preservatives. For this frozen pizza, the comparison that matters most is crust and toppings: read both recipes, including other flours in vegetable-based crusts.
