Coconut Vegetable Soup

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Coconut Vegetable Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Natural Flavors (Vegetable Stock (Natural Flavor, Water, Salt, Vegetable Oils [Olive & Palm], Xanthan Gum)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Acacia Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

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.
