- Modified Fats (Palm Oil & Fractionated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (To Protect Freshness), Potassium Sorbate (To Protect Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
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.
