Why Does This Score Processed?
In our analysis, Lee Kum Kee, Premium Soy Sauce scores Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate Added As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Disodium 5'-Inosinate And Disodium 5'-Guanylate As Flavor Enhancers): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cooking Sauces, this is among the less processed 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.
This product is part of our wider analysis. It features in our Regular Soy Sauce vs Coconut Aminos comparison.
