Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose 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.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate): 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.
