Triple Chocolate Donut

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

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

• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum, Agar): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this is among the less processed 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.
