What You Should Know

You’d spot this Amy’s Golden Lentil Soup in the canned/ready-meals aisle or your pantry on a cold evening — an easy, bowl-ready option for a quick lunch or low-effort weeknight dinner. It gives a wholesome, comforting vibe: familiar lentil-and-spice flavors with a homemade feel, while the smooth, shelf-stable texture and single-list ingredient panel reflect factory cooking and canning rather than hand-made fresh soup. The ingredient list (whole legumes, veggies, olive oil, salt and spices) and lack of long additive names point toward a processed, shelf-stable product rather than an ultra-formulated snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole ingredients with minimal additives but industrially cooked and canned for shelf life, this fits NOVA group 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra-processed; mechanical processing and canning explain the smooth texture and elevated sodium level.
