What You Should Know

You'd find this 24-oz Turkey & Wild Rice Soup in the refrigerated prepared foods/soup section at Whole Foods, an easy grab for a chilly night, quick lunch, or when you want a homey meal without the cooking. It gives a comforting, slightly nostalgic vibe—like a homemade turkey soup—but is clearly designed for convenience. The ingredient list (maltodextrin, organic natural flavor, food starch, yeast extract and a formulated turkey base) and ready-to-heat format point to industrial processing that standardizes texture and flavor, typical of ultra-processed products.
