Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Loaf 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.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 & 6, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Emulsifier (Propylene Glycol Ester Of Fatty Acids, Mono-Diglycerides And Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
