Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Spice Rub & Marinade scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavorings (Mango And Lime Flavorings), Natural Smoke Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
