Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Richin, Pad Thai Sauce scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Stabilizer (Tapioca Modified Starch, E1442)2.28%): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Natural Flavors (Flavor Enhancer (Monosodium Glutamate, E921)0.8%): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 45% 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.
