Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn And Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Titanium Dioxide, Beta Carotene): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Dough Conditioners (Azodicarbonamide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.

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.
