Dulce De Leche Dessert Dip

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Dulce De Leche Dessert Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Flavor): 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.
