Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, 6 - Layer Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Other Additives (Avocado (Avocado, Ascorbic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 6,665 products we've analyzed.

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