Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cookies & Cream Sundae scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Fudge: Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Fully Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel, Soybean)With Soy Lecithin): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
