Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Aged Cheese Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
