Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cornbread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Monoesters): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Datem, Soy Lecithin, +2 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant 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.
