Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Twirl Glazed Donuts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Agar Agar): 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.
