Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sacla', Basil Pesto scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Preservatives: Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
