Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cherry Cake with Cherry Icing scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.

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.
