Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Amor Chamoy scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate (As Preservatives)And Fd&C Red 40): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring Extracts): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 47% 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.
