Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Instant Bouillon Chicken Powder, Chicken scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavor (Contains Soy, Milk, And Celery)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Guanylate, Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 92% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.

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