Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream 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 Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Sodium Alginate, Guar Gum, Cellulose Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
