Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Crab Spread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Deli Meats, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 4,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
