Not a great choice for everyday.

This is a chickpea-based dip made primarily from cooked chickpeas, vegetables, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), a pre-identified UPF additive used for industrial preservation. Ketchup may also contain industrial additives depending on its formulation, but E202 alone is sufficient for the classification.
