Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, White 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.
  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Emulsifiers (Vegetable Mono Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
