Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Louisiana Creme Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Mono- And Diglycerides, Propylene Glycol Ester Of Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate), Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
