Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pumpkin Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch (Corn, Tapioca)): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural And Artificial Flavors (Milk)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese Powder [Cream Cheese Solids (Cream, Nonfat Milk, Salt, Sodium Alginate), Natural Flavor], Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
