Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lite Ranch Dressing & Dip scores Ultra-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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate And Calcium Disodium Edta): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Propylene Glycol Alginate, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 6,665 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
