Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Birthday Cake Donuts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, +4 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar, Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
