Mushroom Flavored Dark Soy Sauce

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Mushroom Flavored Dark Soy Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate Added As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Natural Flavors (Disodium 5'-Inosinate And Disodium 5'-Guanylate As 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.
