- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate And Calcium Disodium Edta): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
