Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Soybean, Cottonseed)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
