Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Chicken Bouillon Cubes, Chicken scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
