Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Apple Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oils, Partially Hydrogenated Canola Oil And/Or Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): 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.
