Health Integrity Analysis

Is Kirkland Chicken Tortilla Soup truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 75/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Maltodextrin. A highly processed white powder from corn or wheat.

Nutritional Balance

With only 2g of sugar, this product maintains a balanced profile. It avoids the excessive sweetness of typical processed foods while providing 4g of protein.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, Kirkland Chicken Tortilla Soup achieves a CakeID Score of 75/100.

Consume in Moderation: It's not a health hazard, but it shouldn't be a staple in your daily diet due to its processing level or nutritional density.
