Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Con Queso Sour Cream Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate [To Retain Freshness]): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate, Stabilizer (Modified Corn Starch, Kosher Gelatin, Sodium Phosphate, Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 6,665 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
