Gravy Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Gravy Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Flavor Enhancers (Hydrolyzed Soy, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Caseiinate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
