What You Should Know

You’d spot this 16 oz container in the refrigerated broth/soup section or the natural foods cooler — the kind of item picked up on a rainy night or during weekly meal prep for a quick, nourishing base. It reads and feels wholesome and comforting: slow-simmered bones and vegetables give a gelatinous, savory mouthfeel and a homemade vibe. The ingredient list shows mostly whole foods with minimal additives (a touch of citric acid) and pasteurization/packaging rather than industrial formulations, so it points to light industrial processing rather than ultra-processed manufacture.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from whole ingredients (bones, vegetables, herbs) but produced, pasteurized and packaged as a ready-to-drink product with a preservative (citric acid), it fits NOVA group 3 (processed) rather than ultra-processed.
