Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): 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.
