Treat Glaze

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Treat Glaze scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Agar Gum, Cellulose Gum, Locust Bean Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Sorbitan Monostearate, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
