Rainbow Sherbet Ice Cream

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Rainbow Sherbet Ice Cream scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Blue 1, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
