Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Coral Reef Cakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil With Tbhq To Preserve Flavor): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60, Polysorbate 80)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
