Common questions about Honey Mustard Dressing

Is Honey Mustard Dressing ultra-processed?

Yes — Honey Mustard Dressing is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and formulations including potassium sorbate (preservative), xanthan gum (stabiliser/thickener), and plain caramel (colour). These extracted and synthesized additives place it in the NOVA ultra-processed category.

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
