Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Plum 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): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
