Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Tortilla Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch, Modified Rice Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate 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.
