Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cons-Mate, Flavored Concentrate, Tomato and Chicken scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Oil**): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
