Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Peppermint Whoopie Pies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Propionate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed And/Or Soybean Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
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.
