Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cheddar Cheese Spread with Almonds 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.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Other Additives (Gums (Acacia, Guar, Locust Bean, Xanthan, Carrageenan)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
