Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Turtle Cream Pie, Turtle scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Fats (Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil): Hydrogenation and modification are UPF markers.
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Unsweetened Chocolate, Cocoa): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor, Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
