Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sliced Loaf scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Other Additives (Emulisifer (Mono- And Diglycerides, Propylene Glycol Ester Of Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Contains Milk), Artifical Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
