Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Original Flavor Liquid Marinade, Original scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Smoke Flavor, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
