Pumpkin Decorettes

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pumpkin Decorettes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Cottonseed And/Or Soybean)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Natural And Artificial Flavor Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 6, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processes With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
