Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Smores Cupcakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Blue 1 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Xanthan Gum. Contains 2% Or Less Of: Titanium Dioxide, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Other Additives (Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Soy Lecithin), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
