Rainbow Sprinkles

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
