Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Real California Milk scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Stabilizer & Emulsifier (Modified Food Starch, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Guar Gum, Calcium Sulfate, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cream & Butter, this product is more processed than about 86% of the 3,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
