- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Meats (Cooked Mechanically Separated Chicken Meat): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
