Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Rib Sauce 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.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Chili Garlic Sauce [Chili, Salt, Garlic, Distilled Vinegar, Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Bisulfite, And Xanthan Gum], Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.

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