Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Caramel Iced Yellow Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup. Contains 2% Or Less Of: Salt): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Artificial And Natural Flavors, Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
