Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Red Chile Enchilada Sauce scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Canola Oil Or Partially Hydrogenated Canola Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red Color #40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
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.
