- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Agar, Pectin, +3 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
