Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Ice Cream scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Stabilizers & Gums (Gluten-Free Goodie Girl Mint Slims (Chocolate Flavored Coating (Sugar, Palm Kernel And Or Palm Oil, Cocoa Powder Processed With Alkali, Cocoa Powder, Powdered Milk, Whey, Lactose, Soy Lecithin And Natural Vanilla Extract), Goodie Girl Flour (White Rice Flour, Corn Starch, Tapioca Flour, Powdered Milk, Potato Starch, Xanthan Gum), Butter, Sugar, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Powdered Milk, Pure Peppermint Flavor, Vanilla Extract, Salt And Baking Soda)): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Organic Fair Trade Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this is among the less processed 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.
