- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oils, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Vanillin (Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, +4 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
