Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Rainbow Parfait scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Canned Fruit, this product is more processed than about 96% of the 3,788 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
