Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Carrot Cream Cheese Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
