Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cherry 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.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
Stabilizers & Gums (Gellan 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.
