Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sub Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate & Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Monosodium Glutamate (Less Than 1%)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Gum Stabilizers (Guar, Carrageenan, Xanthan)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
