What You Should Know

You'd find this 14.5 oz Bar Harbor New England Clam Chowder on the canned soup aisle or stocked in a pantry for a quick, cozy meal during a chilly night or storm. It has a comforting, nostalgic vibe — a creamy, chowder-style bite made convenient with thickeners and dried seasonings. The ingredient list (wheat flour, native tapioca starch, seasoned salts, dehydrated onion) signals a processed, shelf-stable formulation where starches and seasoning blends create the thick texture and lasting shelf life.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This ready-to-eat, shelf-stable soup combines whole ingredients (potatoes, clams, butter) with added starches and seasoning blends for texture and flavor; it lacks obvious industrial additives or novel ingredients characteristic of ultra-processed foods, so it aligns with NOVA 3 (processed).
