Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Caramel Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Monostearate, +3 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
