Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Birthday Cake Protein Muffin scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Glycerine, Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze, Carnauba Wax, Propylene Glycol Mono & Diesters Of Fatty Acids, +1 more): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- 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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
