Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Classic Barbecue Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Natural Flavors (Natural Hickory Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Other Additives (Thickener (Xanthan Gum), Acid (Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.

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