Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Pho Broth, Pho scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Organic Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gellan Gum): Industrial stabilizers 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.
