Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cavatappi Caprese Salad scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

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

Within Prepared Salads, this product is more processed than about 43% of the 1,234 products we've analyzed.

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