Traditional Beef Barley Soup

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 10 ingredients to avoid

Progresso Traditional Beef Barley Soup scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Progresso Traditional Beef Barley Soup lists 29 ingredients, starting with Water, Beef Broth, Beef, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein and Modified Food Starch. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Progresso Traditional Beef Barley Soup scores worse than most canned goods we have scored. A higher-scoring option in canned goods is North Coast Organic Honeycrisp Applesauce at 100/100.
