Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Bbq Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Hot Sauce (Aged Cayenne Peppers, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Xanthan Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Whiskey Flavored Liquor*, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
