Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Kandy Cakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Contains Milk Ingredients)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Aluminium Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
