What You Should Know

You'd find this 365 Lemon Hummus in the refrigerated dip aisle or on a grab-and-go shelf at Whole Foods, ready for an easy snack, picnic, or party spread. It feels wholesome and convenient — creamy and bright from pureed chickpeas, tahini and oil — and the short ingredient list with citric acid and lemon juice concentrate suggests a processed, shelf-stable prepared food rather than a heavily industrialized ultraprocessed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made mainly from whole ingredients (cooked chickpeas, tahini, oil) with small additives (citric acid, lemon juice concentrate) for flavor and stability, so it's a processed prepared food rather than an ultra-processed formulation packed with industrial ingredients.
