Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese (Pasteurized Milk And Cream Cheese Culture, Salt, Stabilizers (Carob Bean And/Or Xanthan And/Or Guar Gums))): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract (Vanilla Bean Extractives, Alcohol, Water)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (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.
