Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, S'mores Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Non-Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil Shortening (Contains Canola, Palm, And Modified Palm Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Processed Fruit Products (Alkalized Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Artificial And Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Gum Arabic, 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.
