Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Natural Cheddar Cheese Spread scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
