Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Chili with Beans scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Proteins (Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color)): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Other Additives (Green Chiles (Contains Citric Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Prepared Entrees, this product is more processed than about 25% of the 6,999 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
