Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Rocky Mountain Hot Sauce scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Carrot Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 42% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
