Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Pumpkin Whoopie Pie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oils): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bht Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose 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.
