Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, White Queso Sauce 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.
- Other Additives (Green Chiles (Green Chiles, Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Datem, Mono-And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Ketchup & Mustard, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 6,563 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
