Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Smoked Gouda Pimento Spread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor, Potassium Sorbate To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Pimientos (Red Pimiento Peppers, Water, Salt, Citric Acid, Calcium Chloride), Creme Fraiche (Pasteurized Cultured Cream, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid [To Protect Freshness])): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
