Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mccormick, Brown Gravy Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Plant Proteins (Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate (Flavor Enhancers)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
