Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Strawberry Preeserves scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose (Splenda Brand)(A Nonnutritive Sweetener)**): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40**, Blue 1**): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin, Locust Bean Gum**): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor**): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Jams & Spreads, this product is more processed than about 97% of the 3,925 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
