Premium Banana Split Ice Cream

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Premium Banana Split Ice Cream 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.
• Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin, Carob Bean Gum, Guar Gum, +3 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor Processed With Alkali, Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

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.
