Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Sanding Sugar scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
