Tangerine Honey Dressing

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Other Additives (Tangerine Puree (Tangerine Juice Concentrate, Water, Tangerine Pulp, Citric Acid, Tangerine Oil)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Tangerine Flavor (Ethyl Alcohol, Water, Natural Flavor)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Dressings & Mayo, this product is more processed than about 23% of the 5,534 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
