Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Katsuo Udon Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Proteins (Hydrolyzed Protein): Extensive modification indicates UPF.
Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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.
