Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, 3 Layer 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.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Gum Arabic, Propylene Glycol Alginate, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, +2 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
