Confetti Egg

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
• Artificial Flavors (Contains Less Than 0.5% Of The Following Ingredients: Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 3, Blue 1, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.

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

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
