Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Natural Flavors (Vanilla (Water, Alcohol, Vanilla Bean Extractives)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan 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.
