Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder Soup

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vegetable Flavor Blend (Vegetables [Carrot, Celery, Onion], Flavoring)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
