Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Croissant scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Less Than 2% Of Datem, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme): 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.
