What You Should Know

You’d find this in the refrigerated prepared foods section or the deli cooler — the grab-and-go guacamole for parties, game nights, or a quick sandwich topping. It delivers a fresh, slightly indulgent but convenient vibe: avocado-forward and craveable, with the reassuring look of ‘real’ ingredients. The smooth texture and longer refrigerated shelf life come from stabilizers and acidulants (xanthan gum, citric/ascorbic/acetic acids), clues that it’s a commercially processed, ready-to-eat product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although the ingredient list is dominated by whole foods (avocado, peppers), the presence of industrial additives like xanthan gum and multiple acidulants/preservatives and the ready-to-eat packaged format indicate ultraprocessing (NOVA 4). These additives are used to stabilize texture, color, and shelf life, characteristic of UPFs.

Common Questions about 365 by Whole Foods Market, Guacamole, Traditional, 8 Ounce

The guacamole is a pretty solid choice if you’re looking for a snack. With just 50 calories per two tablespoons, it’s low in calories and fat, but it’s also not a protein powerhouse. It’s all about balance — if you pair it with some whole-grain chips or fresh veggies, you’ve got yourself a satisfying and tasty snack!
