Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Fat Free Dressing 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 Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (With Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin*): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% 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.
