- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Agar-Agar, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
