Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Sour Cream scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Cream & Butter, this product is more processed than about 69% 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.
