Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Wheat And/Or Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Amylase 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.
