Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cherry Toaster Pastries scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Colored With (Red 40, Artificial Color)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
