Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Stabilizers & Gums (Cream Cheese [Cultured Cream And Milk, Salt, Xanthan, Carob Bean And Guar Gums], Strawberry Filling [Water, Sugar, Strawberries, Modified Corn Starch, Salt, Erythorbic Acid, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Calcium Carrageenan, Artificial Flavor, Fd&C Red 40 & Blue 1], Cream [Cream, Carrageenan, Mono & Diglycerides, Polysorbate 80], +5 more): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
  • Industrial Enzymes (Sour Cream [Cultured Milk, Cream, Enzymes]): Industrial enzyme use indicates significant processing.
  • Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Alkalized)): Concentrates and extracts indicate 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.
