Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Buffalo Wing Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate (Gum)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
