Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Caesar Lite Salad 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.
  • Other Additives (Stabilizer Blend (Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

Within Fresh Produce, this product is more processed than about 90% of the 6,649 products we've analyzed.

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