Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Italian Cream Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Vanillin (Glucose, Water, Ethyl Alcohol, Vanillin, Propylene Glycol)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
