Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Red Velvet Creme Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Interesterified Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Cottonseed And Soybean Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Of: Acacia Gum, Agar-Agar, Gum Arabic, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant 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.
