Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Holiday Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Alkali Processed): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant 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.
