Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Cake & Baking Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 21% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
