Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Gold Medal Basic Muffin Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
