Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Harvest Cheesecake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Artificial Color (Water, Caramel Color, Glycerin, Yellow 5 & 6, Red 3 & 40, Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate [Preservatives], Citric Acid)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Guar Gum, +2 more): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
