Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cajun Alfredo Base 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, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Parmesan Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cultures, Salt, Enzymes], Water, Salt, Disodium Phosphate. Sodium Citrate, Xanthan Gum)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
