Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Potato Salad 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.
Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Disodium Edta And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Other Additives (Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Pickles & Relishes, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 10,255 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
