Why this score?
Contains processed American cheese with an emulsifying salt (sodium phosphate) and is formulated as a ready-to-eat dip, indicating industrial formulation and additives to modify texture and shelf life. The presence of some whole ingredients (green chiles, onion, tomatoes) does not offset the industrial cheese base, so it fits NOVA group 4.
