Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cakes 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 Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Mono & Diglycerides, Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
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.
