Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Base, Chicken scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, 2% Or Less Of Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Hydrolyzed Soy, Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
