Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cordial Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Creme De Cocoa Liqueur): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
