What You Should Know

You'd spot this tub in the refrigerated prepared foods or produce grab-and-go section — an easy, organic option for chips, tacos, or sandwich spreads. It gives a wholesome, convenient vibe (organic ingredients and fresh flavor) but reads like a ready-made convenience item. The presence of stabilizers and acidity regulators points to industrial processing to smooth texture and extend shelf life, a hallmark of ultra-processed products.

Ultra-Processed
