Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cheesecake 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.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Emulsifiers (Vegetable Mono & Diglycerides, Glycerol): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Carob Bean Gum, Carrageenan, +2 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.

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.
