Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Light Regular Mayonnaise, Light scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch*): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate*): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
