Campbell's Soup Tomato

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Campbell's Soup Tomato scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 24% 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.
