- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Carob Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, Mono And Diglycerides And Sodium Propionate): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
