Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Stabilizers & Gums (Sour Cream (Cultured Milk And Cream, Whey, Modified Cornstarch, Sodium Phosphate, Potassium Sorbate [Preservative], Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Calcium Sulfate, Locust Bean Gum). Cream Cheese Icing: Powdered Sugar (Sugar, Cornstarch)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• 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.
