Chicken Potato Soup

Barcode 4056489899983
Not Ultra-Processed

No — Chicken Potato Soup is not ultra-processed.

Ingredients are basic culinary items (water, vegetables, chicken, cream, butter, herbs, spices, cornflour, garlic purée, stock components). No industrial sweeteners, flavours, emulsifiers, stabilizers, or highly processed additives are present. Yeast extract in the stock is a flavor ingredient but, by these rules, isolated additives only trigger UPF when they are sweeteners, emulsifiers, etc., which are not present here.

Is Chicken Potato Soup ultra-processed?

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
