Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Signature Cake scores Ultra-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.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, +2 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
