- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin, Sorbitan Monostearate, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carboxymethylcellulose): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
