Supreme Chocolate Cake

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Supreme Chocolate Cake 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.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Chocolate Chips (Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin, Natural Vanilla Extract)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (White Chocolate Coating Sugar, Vegetable Oils May Contain Palm, Coconuts And/Or Palm Kernel Oil , Salt, Natural Flavors Vanilla, Chocolate, Rum , Pectin, Corn Starch, Tapioca Flour, Baking Soda, Mono And Diglycerides, 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.
