Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Dairy Free Cheddar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Wayfare Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
