Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Classic Gravy Mix 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.
- Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Corn Gluten, Ammonium Chloride, Tartaric Acid, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Sulfites)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
