Gourmet Marsala Sauce

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Flavor (With Torula Yeast)): 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.
