Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Wild Willie's Buffalo Style Ranch Chicken Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavor (Milk)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Hot Sauce (Cayenne Peppers, Vinegar, Water, Salt, Natural Flavor, Garlic Powder)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Ranch Dressing (Water, Soybean Oil, Cultured Lowfat Buttermilk [Lowfat Milk, Condensed Skim Milk, Active Buttermilk Cultures], Distilled Vinegar, Modified Corn Starch, Salt), Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate): 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.
