Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Less Than 2% Of: Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carboxymethylcellulose, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
