Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheddar Broccoli Soup Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers 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.
