Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Meringue Pie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanillin): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Guar 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.
