Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Red Borsch scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Other Additives (Acidity Regulator: Sodium Acetate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Thickener: Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
