Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Garden Italian Salad Dressing scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.

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