Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, New York Style Cheesecake Sampler 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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Milk And Cream, Cheese Culture, Salt, Stabilizers (Carob And/Or Xanthan And/Or Guar Gums)), Xanthan Gum, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Food Starch-Modified, Sodium Phosphate, Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum, Potassium Sorbate (To Preserve Freshness))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanilla): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
