Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Golden Fudge Dessert Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Of: Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Polysorbate 80, +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.
