Summary
This olive oil cooking spray contains extra virgin olive oil, which is a high-quality fat with health benefits. However, the presence of soy lecithin and dimethyl silicone, both processed additives, contributes to its ultra-processed nature. The use of a propellant for dispensing further increases the level of processing, limiting its health score despite the beneficial oil.
