Organic Chocolate Frosting

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Organic Chocolate Frosting scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Processed Fruit Products (Organic Cocoa Powder*, Organic Black Cocoa Powder*, Less Than 2% Of The Following: Natural Chocolate Flavor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors, Natural Vanilla Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
