Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Artificial Colors (Of: Blue 1, Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Polysorbate 80, +1 more): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Mono- And Diesters Of Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate 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.
