Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lemon Wine Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Datem, Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% 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.
