Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Zesty Pepper & Cheese Dip scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate Added To Retard Mold Growth): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Cultured Milk And Cream, Salt, Stabilizers (Xanthan, Carob Bean, And Guar Gums)), Gum Acacia, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Other Additives (Sodium Diacetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Cheese, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 19,171 products we've analyzed.
