Gravy Mix

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Gravy Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil Natural And Artificial Flavors): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 45% 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.
