Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Rainbow Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 & #3, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
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.
