Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

  • Chemical Preservatives (Calcium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Dough Conditioners (Calcium Peroxide): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
  • Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Contains Maple)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Datem, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
