Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Monostearate, Monoglycerides): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
