Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, B.b.q. Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Other Additives (Hot Sauce (Aged Red Pepper, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, And Xanthan Gum.)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Liquid Smoke (Water, Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor.)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
