Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Pie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Alginate): 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.
