Yes — Caesar Cardini's Dressing is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This dressing is classified as ultra-processed because it contains xanthan gum, an extracted and isolated stabilizer used to modify texture. Xanthan gum is an industrial additive, so its presence makes the product UPF under the stated criteria. The other ingredients, including rapeseed oil, egg yolk, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, cheese, spices, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and anchovy paste, do not independently change the classification.

Is Caesar Cardini's Dressing ultra-processed?

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
