Tiramisu with Ladyfingers

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Tiramisu with Ladyfingers scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Modified Starches (Modified Maize Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Other Additives (Mascarpone (Cream, Milk, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Soluble Coffee): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this is among the less processed of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
