Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tapioca Pudding scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Flavor (Vanilla)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Hydroxide): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Puddings & Gelatin, this product is more processed than about 36% of the 1,991 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
