What You Should Know

You’d spot this 8 oz tub in the refrigerated deli or hummus section — the kind you grab for a picnic, party platter, or quick snack. It feels wholesome and convenient, offering a familiar, creamy Mediterranean-style comfort with a slightly indulgent, ready-to-eat vibe. The ingredient list is simple and recognizable (chickpeas, tahini, oil, garlic) but the product is cooked, blended and acidified for texture and shelf stability, showing moderate processing rather than heavy industrial reformulation.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from mostly whole-food ingredients (cooked chickpeas, tahini, garlic) with added oil and citric acid and subjected to cooking/blending; it’s a processed culinary product for convenience and stability rather than a highly engineered ultra-processed formulation.
