- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Wheat Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
