Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Campbell's Condensed Soup Nacho Cheese scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Cheddar Cheese (Cheddar Cheese [Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Calcium Chloride], Water, Disodium Phosphate, Enzymes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Fruit Products (Onion Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
