Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Donut Sticks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Wheat Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate (To Retard Spoilage)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar, Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
