Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Miso scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
Within Cooking Sauces, this product is more processed than about 45% of the 9,519 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
