Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Banana Pudding, Banana scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Puddings & Gelatin, this product is more processed than about 36% of the 1,991 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
