Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch, Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (The Following: Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Mono- And Diesters Of Fats And Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate 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.
