Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Danish Choice, Apple Pie Filling scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Gelling Agent: Modified Maize Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Preservative: Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Crusts & Dough, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 2,350 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
