Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lemon Pepper Marinade scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate (As Preservatives)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
