- Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Dough Conditioners (Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Contains Lemon)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Datem, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
