Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Garden Fresh Spinach Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin (Beef)): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate (Added To Maintain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): 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.
