Blossoms

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Blossoms scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
