Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Colors (Imitation Vanilla Flavor (Water, Propylene Glycol, Vanillin, Caramel Color, Ethyl Vanillin, Artificial Flavor)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.

Within Puddings & Gelatin, this product is more processed than about 36% of the 1,991 products we've analyzed.

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