Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Donut Sticks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Wheat And Corn Starches): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (To Retain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Contains Lemon)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Propylene Glycol Monostearate, Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar And Xanthan Gums, Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
