Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Natural Flavors (Artificial & Natural Flavors, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose 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.
