Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheesecake, Strawberry scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate To Preserve Freshness): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
