Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Pamana, Tamarind Soup Base Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Inosinate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
