Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Krimpies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Benzoic Acid): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Plant Proteins (Soy Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
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.
