Double Vanilla Muffins

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Double Vanilla Muffins scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Methylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerine): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this is among the less processed of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
