Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Yule Log Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Potato Starch, Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 40, +2 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids, Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80, +2 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate Liquor): 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.
