Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Shortcake Rolls scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60, +2 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
