Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Red Pepper Hummus scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Dough Conditioners (Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Wheat Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
