Cheesecake Ice Cream

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cheesecake Ice Cream scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Guar Gum, Carrageenan, +2 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
