Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cocktail Sauce, Cocktail scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Wasabi Powder (Horseradish, Mustard Powder, Corn Starch, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Artificial Colors [Fd&C Yellow 5, Fd&C Blue 1])): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Low Sodium Sea Salt (Sea Salts, Natural Flavor, Magnesium Carbonate [Anti-Caking Agent])): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Dips & Salsa, this product is more processed than about 83% of the 6,665 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
