Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Onion Dip with Beef scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Potato Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Carob Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
