Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
