Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Plant-Based Minestrone & Saus'ge Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Oil Shortening): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Carrot Juice Concentrate, Onion Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Smoke Flavor, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
