Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Fiber, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Datem, Ethoxylated Mono- And Diglycerides): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
