Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Swanson Meal Chicken & Dumplings 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.
Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Natural Flavors (Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Beef, Pork & Lamb, this product is more processed than about 91% of the 4,915 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
