Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow Lake 5, Yellow Lake 6, Blue Lake 2, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Glycerin, Soy Lecithin, +4 more): 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.
