In our analysis, Chicken Gravy Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Corn Gluten, Caramel Color, Lactic Acid, Calcium Lactate, Disodium Guanylate, Sulfites)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
• Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Ethoxylated Monodiglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
