Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Alfredo Sauce Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (2% Or Less Of Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bha): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Hydrolyzed Casein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gel, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
