Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Caesar Salad scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate, Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Parmesan Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes, Powdered Cellulose [To Prevent Caking]). Caesar Dressing: Soybean Oil, Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Pickles & Relishes, this product is more processed than about 84% of the 10,255 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
