Jocon Style Sauce

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Jocon Style Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate (Scent Enhancer)): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
