Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Modified Starches (Of: Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Other Additives (Emulsifier Blend (Mono- And Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Polysorbate 60)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
