Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Wheat Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Datem, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

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.
