Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cream Cheese Iced Carrot Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese (Milk, Cream (From Milk), Cheese Culture, Salt, Carob Bean Gum)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
