Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Spicy Noodle Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Meat Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Textured Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Succinate): 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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
