Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate Preservative, Sodium Benzoate Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Colors (Yellow 6 Lake, Red 40, Yellow 5 Lake, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
