Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Spirited Tequila Jalapenos scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate (As Preservatives)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Pickles & Relishes, this product is more processed than about 59% of the 10,255 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
