Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pumpkin Fritters scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Stabilizers & Gums (Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Vegetable Monoglycerides, Propylene Glycol And Syloid): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
