Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Original Cream Cheesecake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Soybean And Cottonseed Oils)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Whole Wheat Flour. Contains 2% Or Less: Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Colored With Caramel Color & Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Skim Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
