Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Lemon Creme Danish scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine, Azodicarbonamide (Ada)): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 3, Yellow 6, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Datem): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
