Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Dutch Apple Pie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): 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.
