Original Hummus, 16 OZ
What You Should Know
You’d find this tub in the refrigerated deli section or grab it on a quick run for a picnic, party platter, or afternoon snack. It feels wholesome and convenient—familiar, savory, and mildly health-forward. The creamy texture comes from blended chickpeas, tahini and added oil, while simple additives like citric acid and lemon concentrate hint at modest industrial processing rather than heavy ultra‑processing.

Processed Food
Why this score?
Made mainly from whole ingredients (cooked chickpeas, tahini) with added oil, salt and mild additives (citric acid, lemon concentrate) for flavor and shelf stability; it lacks the industrial formulations, emulsifiers or artificial additives that characterize NOVA 4 ultra‑processed foods, so it aligns with NOVA 3 (processed).
