Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Dessert Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate Added To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Creme Fraiche (Pasteurized Cultured Cream, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid [To Protect Freshness])): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
