Squeeze

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Squeeze scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Chemical Preservatives (Preserved With Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): 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.
