Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pumpkin Danish scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Each Of The Following: Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate [Preservative]): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Distilled Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
