Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Shiso Flavor (Beefsteak Plant)): 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.
