Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, Sodium Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
