Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Instant Noodle Soup 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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bha & Tbhq (Anti-Oxidant Agent)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Hydrolyzed Soy, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): 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.
