Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Bistro Bacon Ranch Dressing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Foodstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate (To Protect Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.

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