Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Baking Mixes, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,176 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
