Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa, Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
