Cinnamon Rolls

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cinnamon Rolls scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Vanilla Flavor (Propylene Glycol, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Vanillin, Ethyl Vanillin), Natural & Artificial Vanilla Powder): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
• Other Additives (Dough Conditioner Blend (Water, Monodiglycerides With Propionic Acid And Phosphoric Acid [Preservative])): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Industrial Enzymes (Enzyme Blend (Wheat Flour, Calcium Sulfate, Salt, 2% Or Less Of Enzymes)): Industrial enzyme use indicates 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.
