Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Banana Pudding Cupcakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Preserved With Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 80, +3 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Monoglycerides): 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.
