Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Thai Sweet Garlic & Ginger Sauce scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Sambal (With Vinegar, Salt And Xanthan Gum)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 45% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
