Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Crema Mexicana scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Locust Bean Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Flour & Sugar, this product is more processed than about 99% of the 3,938 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
