Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Acacia Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
