Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Churro Donut Bars scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (Palm Kernel, Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine, Soy Lecithin, Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
