Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Vegetable Margarine scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Liquid And Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Vegetable Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cream & Butter, this product is more processed than about 86% of the 3,591 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
