Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, The Original Cream Pops scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame*, Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 6, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Sugar Alcohols (Maltitol Syrup): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin, Mono And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
