Vegetable Flavored Bouillon Cubes

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Vegetable Flavored Bouillon Cubes scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Seasonings & Spices, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 11,127 products we've analyzed.
