Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chili Lean Meat scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural 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.
