Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Reduced Fat Seafood Cheese Spread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.

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

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
