Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn And Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Processed Fruit Products (The Following: Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Other Additives (Propylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol Mono- And Diesters Of Fats And Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Polysorbate 60, Mono- And Diglycerides, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
