Creme Cake

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan 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.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
