Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Black Hot Sauce, Black scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (As Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1 And Fd&C Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): 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.
