Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Red Sauce, Hot, Mild scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
