Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Progresso Traditional Chicken & Herb Dumplings is a product that our evaluation places at the lower end of cleaner food options. The dish is a non-organic soup that includes partially cooked spaetzle dumplings, vegetables, and cooked white chicken meat in a broth base. It is not made with non-GMO ingredients and contains added sugars, which detract from its overall healthfulness.
The ingredients list reveals the presence of several elements that our criteria deem undesirable. Sugar, while a common ingredient in many foods, is considered a negative addition when assessing cleaner eating options. The product also contains natural flavors and flavoring, which are ambiguous terms that can encompass a range of substances, some of which may not align with the principles of clean eating. Modified food starch and maltodextrin are included in the soup, which are additives that raise concerns due to their processing and potential impact on health.
Furthermore, maltodextrin is identified as a known harmful additive, prompting a significant deduction from the product’s score. The presence of soy protein isolate and other modified ingredients further indicates that the product does not meet the standards set for cleaner, less processed food options.
The Progresso Traditional Chicken & Herb Dumplings, with its non-organic status and inclusion of GMOs, added sugars, and questionable additives, receives our lowest green leaf rating. Consumers seeking cleaner, healthier food alternatives are advised to consider other options. This product does not align with the criteria for a clean, wholesome diet as defined by our scoring system, and hence, it is not recommended for those looking to minimize their intake of processed foods and additives.
