Espresso Cheesecake

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Cultured Milk And Cream, Salt, Stabilizers (Xanthan And/Or Carob Bean And/Or Guar Gums))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Coffee, Coffee Grounds, Vanilla Extract, +1 more): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

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

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