Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Chocolate Pie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Dough Conditioners (L-Cysteine): Industrial bread additives not used in home baking.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Mono And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Chocolate Liquor, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
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.
