Mighty Muffin

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Plant Proteins (Pea Protein): Isolated proteins require extensive industrial processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• 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.
