Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Old El Paso Chipotle Corn Chowder scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Natural Smoke Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Soup & Chili, this product is more processed than about 24% of the 7,596 products we've analyzed.
