Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Flavoring, Natural Flavor): 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.
