Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Soup with Bacon 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.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Natural Extratives Of Mace, Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin), Natural Flavor (Natural Extractives Of Allspice With Datem, Soy Lecithin, Soybean Oil)): 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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
