- Processed Fruit Products (Celery Juice Concentrate*): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
