Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, 8" Split Lemon Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
