Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Spicy Ranch Dressing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Calcium Disodium Edta (As Preservatives)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors (Contains Milk)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 71% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
