- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Progresso Rich & Hearty Creamy Chicken & Homestyle Noodles falls short of the clean food standards set by our website. The product is not organic, and it is not made with non-GMO ingredients, which raises concerns for those seeking natural and unmodified food sources. The presence of added sugars, including sugar and citric acid, contributes to its low rating, as the consumption of added sugars is often linked to various health issues.
The soup includes ingredients such as modified food starch, natural flavor, and flavor, which are considered potentially harmful additives. Maltodextrin, a known harmful additive, is also found in the ingredient list, and its inclusion is particularly troubling due to its possible impact on blood sugar levels and gut health. Moreover, soybean oil is used in the recipe, which is another ingredient that our rating system flags as harmful due to its high omega-6 fatty acid content and the concerns surrounding its production process and health effects.
The product contains a variety of other ingredients, such as chicken broth, carrots, cooked white chicken meat, egg noodles, celery, and a variety of protein and dairy derivatives. While these ingredients may not directly contribute to the negative score, the overall composition of the soup does not align with the criteria for clean, healthful eating as defined by our evaluation system.
The Progresso Rich & Hearty Creamy Chicken & Homestyle Noodles, with a 1/5 green leaves rating, is not recommended for those seeking cleaner food options. The inclusion of non-organic, GMO, and potentially harmful additives, as well as harmful oils, overshadows the product’s potential benefits. Consumers are advised to consider alternative options that better align with the principles of clean and healthy eating.
