Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Mini Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Starches (Soy Lecithin. Contains 2% Or Less Of: Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Leavenings (Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Aluminum Sulfate)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
