Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Fresh Beef Chili scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Salsa [Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Diced Tomatoes In Juice, Green Chili Peppers, Onions, Salt, Spice, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Calcium Chloride]): 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.
