Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1 out of 5 green leaves, the Progresso Light Chicken Pot Pie Style soup falls significantly short of the standards for cleaner food options set by our website. This product is not organic and includes genetically modified ingredients, factors which contribute negatively to its overall score.
The inclusion of added sugars, such as sugar and honey, alongside a range of potentially harmful additives like natural flavor and modified food starch, further diminishes the health value of this soup. Known harmful additives, specifically maltodextrin, are present in this product and are a cause for concern due to their potential impact on health. The use of soybean oil, a harmful oil, is another reason this product receives its low rating.
The detailed list of ingredients reveals a composition that relies on processed elements and additives rather than whole, natural foods. Non-organic chicken broth, cooked white chicken meat, potatoes, carrots, and celery form the base of the soup. However, the benefits of these primary ingredients are overshadowed by the presence of less desirable components such as soy protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, cream, butter, nonfat milk, soy protein isolate, fermented whey, and various flavorings and colorings.
The product also contains wheat starch and cultured wheat gluten, which may not be suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or allergies. The presence of dairy in the form of whey protein, butter, and nonfat milk may also exclude individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies from safely consuming this product.
The Progresso Light Chicken Pot Pie Style soup’s rating reflects a need for improvement in terms of health and transparency. Consumers seeking cleaner and more wholesome food options are advised to consider alternatives that prioritize organic ingredients, avoid GMOs, and eliminate harmful additives and sugars.
