What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the prepared foods or refrigerated soup section at Whole Foods or grab it as a heat-and-eat option from the deli case for a quick weeknight dinner. It gives a homey, comforting vibe — like a nostalgic chicken-and-rice bowl made simple — with a brothy texture, tender chicken and soft parboiled rice. The ingredient list reads like whole foods without industrial additives, though the parboiled rice and ready-made stock/broth and very high sodium point to commercial processing rather than a freshly made-from-scratch soup.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Contains recognizable whole ingredients and culinary stocks rather than industrial additives, but is a commercially prepared ready-to-heat product (parboiled rice, prepared broths) typical of processed foods (NOVA 3). High sodium and convenience processing reinforce the processed classification rather than minimally processed.
