Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Mini Muffins scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Other Additives (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Propylene Glycol Monoesters): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
