Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Shiro Miso Soup scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Flavorings): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
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.
