Fondant

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Artificial Colors (Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier)Artificial Flavor, Vegetable Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
