What You Should Know

You'd find this 365 Spicy Guacamole in the refrigerated prepared foods or produce case, plucked for last-minute party dips, weekend brunches, or a quick snack. It reads and tastes fresh and indulgent, but the smooth, stable texture and additives like xanthan gum and acidulants reveal industrial processing and shelf-life tweaks typical of ultra-processed formulations.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

While the base ingredients are whole (avocado, peppers, spices), the inclusion of emulsifiers/thickeners (xanthan gum), acidulants and preservatives (acetic, citric, ascorbic acids) and dehydrated flavorings indicates an industrial formulation and preservation strategy characteristic of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods.
