What You Should Know

You'd spot these pork soup dumplings in the frozen or refrigerated prepared foods aisle as a quick heat-and-eat alternative to takeout. They feel comforting and slightly nostalgic — an indulgent, convenient shortcut to a warm dumpling meal. The long ingredient list with starches, hydrocolloids (xanthan, konjac), yeast extracts and a concentrated soup base points to industrial processing designed for consistent texture, shelf stability and amplified savory flavor, typical of ultra-processed products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This product is NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) because it contains industrial formulations and additives (xanthan gum, konjac flour, yeast extract, flavor bases), multiple refined starches and ready-to-heat processing rather than single whole foods and simple culinary ingredients.
