Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Haunted House Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Marshmallows: Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 6, +4 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Propylene Glycol, Confectioner'S Glaze, +1 more): 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.
