Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Ilchester, Sage Derby Cheese scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
