Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Salmon Spread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate Added To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Hickory Smoke Flavor (Water, Natural Hickory Smoke Concentrate)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
