Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Coffee Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Industrial Enzymes (Sour Cream [Cultured Pasteurized Milk, Cream, Nonfat Milk, And Rennet]): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Mono And Diesters Of Fat And Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Mono-And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
