Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Salsa and Tortilla Chips scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate (Added To Maintain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cookies & Crackers, this product is more processed than about 17% of the 18,630 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
