Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Salsa Con Queso Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors): 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.
