Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Fats (Palm Oil And Fractionated Palm Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Distilled Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, +1 more): 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.
