Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Butter Chicken Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Industrial Enzymes (Seasoning (Spices, Dehydrated Garlic, Salt, Dehydrated Onion, Dehydrated Beet, Papain)Lemon Juice Concentrate): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Edta): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
