Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Progresso Light Broccoli Cheese soup has been evaluated on our website as a product that falls short when it comes to offering cleaner food options. This rating reflects our commitment to guiding consumers towards healthier and more natural choices in a market saturated with processed foods.
The soup is not organic, which resulted in a deduction in its green leaf rating. The presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in its ingredients also contributed to the lower score. Furthermore, the inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and citric acid, diminishes the nutritional value of the product.
A significant concern is the addition of potentially harmful additives. Natural flavors, modified food starch, and DATEM are among the ingredients that led to a reduction in the score. Maltodextrin, identified as a known harmful additive, further impacted the overall rating negatively. The use of soybean oil, a harmful oil, also contributed to the low score.
The product contains a variety of cheeses and cream, which may appeal to those looking for a creamy soup option. However, the presence of various preservatives and color additives, including sorbic acid and annatto extract, underscores the processed nature of the soup.
Our assessment aims to highlight the importance of transparency and healthfulness in food choices. The Progresso Light Broccoli Cheese soup, with a green leaf rating of 1/5, is a product that we recommend consumers avoid, as it does not align with our criteria for cleaner, more wholesome food options. This evaluation serves as a guide for those seeking to navigate the complex food market towards choices that are better for health and well-being.
