Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Apple Spice Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides, Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol Ester Of Fatty Acids, Mono-Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate)): 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.
