Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Salsa Con Queso Medium Salsa scores Highly 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.
  • Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 78% 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.
