Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Celebration Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
