Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Corn Chowder 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.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Whipping Cream (Cream (Milk), Mono- And Diglycerides, Carrageenan, Disodium Phosphate, Sodium Citrate, Polysorbate 80)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Frozen Dinners, this product is more processed than about 37% of the 5,358 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
