What You Should Know

Hurst's 15 Bean Soup (20 oz) is a heritage-style pantry staple pitched as an easy, hearty solution for home cooking. You'd typically find it on the dry goods aisle with other legumes, rice and pasta, or shelved near packaged soup mixes and emergency food items; look for the cardboard box with an inner bag of mixed dried beans and a small seasoning packet. It reads as an everyhousehold product—positioned toward budget-conscious cooks, multi-generational families, and anyone after simple, filling meals rather than gourmet trends. Label copy leans on home-cooking cues and basic health claims: “Gluten free,” “high fiber, low fat,” and an emphasis on beans’ wholesomeness, but there’s no organic seal or child-focused branding. In plain terms the product is mostly minimally processed dried pulses, but it includes a small industrial seasoning packet with flavors and additives. Sensory expectations: after simmering, the blend delivers a chunky, varied texture—soft creamy limas, firm kidney beans and tender lentils—yielding a rustic, thick broth that soaks up spices; the packet adds pronounced savory and smoky notes. Packaging invites a ritual: open, optionally sort and rinse, then simmer for a long-pot dinner or cook in a slow cooker for a workday return to a warm, spoonable stew. It’s the kind of item shoppers grab for meal-prep Sundays, cold-weather comfort dinners, or to stock for storm prep and potluck contributions. Overall it occupies a practical, nostalgic corner of American grocery culture: simple, reliable, and rooted in pantry-based home cooking but touched by modern processed seasonings for convenience.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although the core ingredients are dried legumes (minimally processed), the included seasoning packet contains industrial ingredients like hydrolyzed soy protein, maltodextrin and artificial flavors, which are characteristic of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4). These additives and formulations shift the overall product into the ultra-processed category.
