Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Onion Soup Base scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in 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.
