Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Birthday Cake 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): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Blue 2, Red 3, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60 And Sorbitan Monostearate Emulsifiers): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
