Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Donuts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel Oil, Palm Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Soy Lecithin, Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides): 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.
