Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Titanium Dioxide (Artificial Color)): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Monoglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerine (Vegetable), Soy Lecithin): 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.
