Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cakebabies scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Flavor, Natural Flavor, Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
