Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Key Lime Pie Filling scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 & Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Crusts & Dough, this product is more processed than about 41% of the 2,350 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
