Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Cellulose Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

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