Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Half Red Velvet scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Propylene Glycol Mono And Diesters Of Fatty Acids, Mono And Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin), Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
