- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate (As Preservatives)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
