Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Bakery 8" Shadow Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
