Tiramisu

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Natural Flavors (Coffee): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

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.
