Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Chemical Preservatives (Preservative: Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin, Emulsifier: Mono And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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