What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the natural/organic soups or ready-meals section of a grocery store — an easy grab for a weeknight dinner, lunch at work, or pantry-based storm prep. The product reads wholesome and comforting: plant-forward and creamy, promising a homey, simple chili without meat. The ingredient list is dominated by whole vegetables and beans, but contains concentrated flavor bases and starches that smooth texture and enable ready-to-eat convenience, so it sits closer to processed/ borderline ultra-processed on the NOVA spectrum.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a packaged, ready-to-eat prepared meal made mostly from recognizable whole ingredients but containing processed components (vegetable broth concentrate, mirepoix flavor base, potato starch) that provide texture and shelf stability; it lacks the industrial additives typical of clear NOVA-4 ultra-processed formulations, placing it in NOVA 3 (processed foods).
