Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- & Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Distilled Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
