Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cardini's Caesar Dressing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate Added As Preservatives): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): 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.
