Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil And Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil With Mono- And Diglycerides, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed And/Or Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate 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.
