Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Akiyama, Cucumber Kimchee scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 (Tartrazine)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Pickles & Relishes, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 10,255 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
