Gelato

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Emulsifiers (Emulsifiers: Mono And Diglycerides Fatty Acids): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
