Blueberry Pie

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Less Than 1/20 Of 1% Sodium Benzoate And Sodiumpropionate Added As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.

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.
