Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Milk)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Distilled Propylene Glycol Monostearate, Mono And Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Soy Lecithin), Propylene Glycol Esters, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
