Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cold Stone, Rainbow Cakery scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed, Soybean), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel, Palm, Soybean, Cottonseed)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Red 40, Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Dark Chocolate Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
