Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Premium Cocktail Sauce 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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Propylene Glycol Alginate And Less Than 0.1% Sodium Benzoate As A Preservative): 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.
