Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Chemical Preservatives (Natamycin (A Natural Mold Inhibitor)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Acacia Gum, Xanthan Gum, Powdered Cellulose (To Prevent Caking)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
