What You Should Know

You'd spot this 15.5 oz Tuscan Style Beef Soup in the canned soup aisle or your pantry when you need a quick, warm meal—an easy grab for a chilly weeknight or to tuck away for storm prep. It reads as homestyle and comforting with a slightly premium, restaurant-at-home vibe from the RAO'S name. The ingredient list includes many whole-food components but also industrial additives (yeast extract, natural/beef flavor, food starch) that boost taste and create a uniform texture—typical clues of a ready-to-eat ultraprocessed product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although it contains recognizable ingredients like beef, potatoes and tomatoes, the presence of industrial additives (natural flavor, beef flavor, yeast extract, food starch) and its shelf-stable, ready-to-eat formulation are characteristic of NOVA group 4 (ultraprocessed).
