Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ultimate Red Velvet Cake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Vanilla Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Processed Fruit Products (Dark Cocoa Powder (100% Cocoa Beans [Processed With Alkali])): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Other Additives (Gums (Gum Acacia, Xanthan Gum, Modified Gum Acacia)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Natural Flavors (Vanilla Extract): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
