Liquid Margarine

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Liquid Margarine scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Less Than 2% Of: Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin And Mono- And Diglycerides)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Cream & Butter, this product is more processed than about 86% of the 3,591 products we've analyzed.
