Ingredients and ultra-processed food
Heinz Caesar Dressing is a commercially produced salad dressing. Its ingredients are: Rapeseed oil, water, spirit vinegar, pasteurised egg (4%), anchovies (2%), modified maize starch, Parmesan cheese (1.5%), sugar, salt, garlic, mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, natural flavouring..
Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains natural flavourings. Natural flavourings enhance or standardise the flavour profile across large-scale production.
A home-made equivalent would typically require fewer ingredients. The processing aids are used to deliver a consistent flavour, texture and shelf life at scale that home preparation cannot match.
Heinz Caesar Dressing falls into NOVA group 4, ultra-processed food. It contains natural flavourings, used to create a consistent product at industrial scale. Most commercially produced condiments, including those made primarily from natural ingredients like tomatoes or peppers, are classified as ultra-processed due to the additives and processing aids used in production.
