Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Leaf Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, +2 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
