- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
