Cream Dessert Pops

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Cream Dessert Pops scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Organic Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gel, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this is among the less processed of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

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