Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Classic Caesar Dressing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Calcium Disodium Edta Added To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Propylene Glycol Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
