Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Seafood Base scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Tripolyphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
