Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Sour Cream scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (Preserves Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tri-Polyphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cream & Butter, this product is more processed than about 69% of the 3,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
