Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Mojo Criollo scores Highly 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 (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate (To Protect Quality)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Beta Carotene (Color)& Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.

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