Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Decadent Desserts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch, Modified Tapioca): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Fats (Fractionated Palm Kernel Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
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.
