What You Should Know

You'd find this tub in the refrigerated prepared foods or deli section at Whole Foods — a grab-and-go hummus for snacks, sandwiches, or party trays. It feels wholesome and slightly indulgent, offering familiar Mediterranean flavors and a creamy, spreadable texture that makes healthy eating easy. The short ingredient list and smooth emulsified texture point to simple industrial processing (blending, added oil and acid for stability), so it behaves like a processed ready-to-eat product rather than a homemade whole food.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole ingredients (chickpeas, roasted peppers, tahini) with modest culinary additives (expeller canola oil, citric acid) and sold as a ready-to-eat packaged dip, so it fits NOVA 3 (processed food) rather than ultra-processed (NOVA 4).
