Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Butter Rum Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose, Guar Gum, Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides, Emulsifier Blend (Propylene Glycol Esters Of Fatty Acids, Mono- And Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
