Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Garden Salad scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate Added As Preservatives): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
