Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Golden Fudge Cakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Shortening (Palm And Palm Kernel), Hydrogenated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, +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.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
