Whipped Topping Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Whipped Topping Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dried Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Artificial Colors (Artificial Color Including Yellow 5 And Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Monostearate, Acetylated Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (From Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.

Within Cream & Butter, this product is more processed than about 86% of the 3,591 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
