Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, White Rose, Noodle Soup Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Plant Proteins (Hydrolyzed Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate (Flavor Enhancers)): 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.
