Sriracha Slaw

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate & Sodium Benzoate (As Preservatives)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Other Additives (Stablizer (Modified Corn Starch, Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Prepared Salads, this product is more processed than about 43% of the 1,234 products we've analyzed.
