Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mud Pies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (Preservative - To Retain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Low Fat Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Glycerin, Sorbitan Monostearate, Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate): 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.
