What You Should Know

You'd find this 16 oz RAO'S Tortellini & Vegetable Soup in the soup aisle or chilled prepared-food section as a grab-and-heat meal for a busy weeknight. It feels comforting and slightly nostalgic—Italian-inspired tortellini in a tomato broth—and the ingredient list is mostly recognizable but includes processed components (whey powder, canola oil, corn starch) and pre-made pasta that point to industrial assembly rather than a homemade recipe.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed packaged food: mostly recognizable ingredients assembled industrially (prepared pasta, cheeses, broth) with refined starches, dairy powders and added oils; it lacks many of the synthetic additives that would push it into NOVA 4 but is more processed than minimally processed whole foods.
