Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Seashell Brownies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean And Cottonseed Oil With Tbhq To Preserve Flavor): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa, Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
