Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Desserts scores Highly 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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
Within Puddings & Gelatin, this is among the less processed 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.
