Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Contains Less The 2% Of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm, Palm Kernel, Coconut And/Or Cottonseed)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin, Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (A Milk Derivative), Soy Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

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.
