Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Mono & Diesters Of Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono & Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
