I cook basically all my meals but also have no fear of "unnatural" ingredients (I have a shaker of msg right next to the stove, I have cooked mac and cheese with sodium citrate, etc) and no, this ingredient list is not like normal home cooked meals.

Some of it is typical flavoring stuff, onion powder, etc, that could easily show up on a list of spices in a home dish.

But a big part of the list is the stuff you see in highly engineered food product only: maltodextrin, dextrose monohydrate, yellow 5, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, sodium phosphate, etc.

No "home cooked meal of home grown fruits and vegetables" has a similar ingredient list to this.

You seem to have projected a fear or intent into the comment which wasn't intended or explicitly described. I mostly agree in that taste is subjective, "There's no accounting for taste". Personally, I find those things unappetizing. As I said above, this is my bias. You asked for an example of something which I would regard as a highly processed food. I provided one. I cannot satisfy your other inquiries.

Although I will say that I have suspicions around the industrial processes for food additives and dyes. Yellow 6 for example is petroleum or coal tar derived. I'm sure the relevant regulatory bodies have approved these things, but I am not convinced that it is something I would like to consume personally.

Perhaps the burden should be on the manufacturer? I'm not sure where the discussion would lead if I had to rationalize every industrial by-product I preferred not to eat?

Again, there's no accounting for taste.
