Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cilantro Caesar Dressing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Milk)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 And Fd&C Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate And Sodium Bisulfite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
