- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Natural And Artificial Flavor Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate, Tbhq, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil And Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% of the 11,919 products we've analyzed.
