Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, 1/2 Sheet Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides, Propylene Glycol Monoester): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
