Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Szechuan Style Peanut Sauce scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
