- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavor, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Fruit Products (Carrot Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
