Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate (Added To Maintain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 6,665 products we've analyzed.

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