Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Parmesan & Basil Soft Spreadable Cheese scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Carob Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
