- Modified Fats (Palm And/Or Soybean And/Or Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural&Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
