Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Rich Frosted Donuts scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel, Palm, Coconut)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Monostearate, +3 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
