Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Kicked Up Key Lime Pie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Artificial Color [Fd&C Yellow 5 And Blue 1, Propylene Glycol]): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Glaze [Water, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Pectin, Citric Acid], Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
