Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheese Danish scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavorings): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Sugar Alcohols (Lactitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Mono- And Diglycerides Of Fatty Acids)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Industrial Enzymes (Enzymes): Industrial enzyme use indicates 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.
