Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Queso Blanco Cheese Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
