Ice Cream Roll

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan): 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.
