- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
