Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ultimate Chocolate Ganache Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup Solids, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Tbhq): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Red 40, Yellow 5 Lake, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Chocolate Liquor): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, Polysorbate 60, +3 more): 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.
