Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Bison & Beef Stew scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar Blend (Corn Starch, Agar, Pectin)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Smoke Flavor (Water, Natural Hickory Smoke Concentrate)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
