Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Brownies 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.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa. Contains 2% Or Less Of Each Of The Following: Soy Lecithin): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Polysorbate 60): 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.
