Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Edible Decorating Dough 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.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

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