Why Does This Score Processed?
In our analysis, Assi, Black Bean Paste scores Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin Esters Of Fatty Acid): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 19% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
