Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Simmer Sauce scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
