Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Boston Cream Donuts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Monoglycerides Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Propylene Glycol Monoesters Of Fats And Fatty Acids, Datem, Methyl Cellulose, Xanthan Gum Polysorbate 60)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Industrial Enzymes (Preservative Calcium Propionate Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Nonfat Dry Milk, Natural & Artificial Flavor, Dried Egg, Beta-Carotene, Soy Lecithin, Enzymes, Corn Syrup Solids, Glycerin, Caramel Color, Titanium Dioxide Color , Glucono Delta-Lactone, Corn Starch, Sodium Acid Phosphate, Yellow 5, Yellow 6): 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.
