Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Classic Caesar Dressing & Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Calcium Disodium Edta As Preservatives): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
