Gelato Indulgences

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Gelato Indulgences 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.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Guar 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.
