Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Colors (Red 3, Fd&C Yellow 6, Fd&C Red 40 Lake, Fd&C Yellow 5, Fd&C Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.

Within Cakes & Pastries, this product is more processed than about 16% 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.
