Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cheesecake 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 Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Chemical Preservatives (Tbhq, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carob Bean Gum, Pectin, Xanthan Gum, +1 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Vegetable Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
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.
