Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, 5 Layer Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate (Maintains Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.

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