Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Kikkoman, Memmi Noodle Soup Base scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate: Less Than 1/10 Of 1% As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.

Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 24% 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.
