Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Spinach & Artichoke Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Datem, Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
