What You Should Know

You'd find this on the soup or ready-meals shelf — a convenient, shelf-stable chowder for quick weeknight dinners or storm-day pantry grabs. It feels cozy and slightly indulgent with a creamy, plant-forward twist from coconut milk and roasted vegetables. The ingredient list (coconut milk with guar gum, yeast extract, mirepoix extract and refined oil) hints at industrial formulation to deliver a consistent creamy texture and long shelf life, a hallmark of ultra-processed products.
