Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Creamy Parmesan Sauce 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.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup*): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Industrial Enzymes (Parmesan Cheese (Part Skim Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes)*, Enzymes Modified Butter): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
