Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Campbell's Soup New England Clam Chowder 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.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Flavoring (Cod)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Modified Butter, Enzyme Modified Butter Fat And Oil): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

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.
