Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Other Additives (Stabilizer (Mono & Diglycerides, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Calcium Sulfate, Carrageenan, Carob Bean Gum, Polysorbate 80)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
