Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Monterey Jack Cheese with Salsa scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
  • Natural Flavors (Salsa Blend (Onion, Spices Including Paprika, Green Bell Peppers, Garlic, Natural Flavor, Corn Starch, Silicon Dioxide)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% 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.
