Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Cake Mix, Chocolate Lava scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Cocoa Glaze: Hydrogenated Vegetable Palm Fat): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Low Fat Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 21% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
