Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Piccata Pan Sauce scores Ultra-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.
• Processed Fruit Products (Shallot Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
