Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Soda Cakes scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Soybean And/Or Cottonseed Oil)): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
  • Chemical Preservatives (& Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 & 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60, 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.
