Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

  • Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Tapioca And Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Other Additives (Propylene Glycol Mono And Diesters Of Fats And Fatty Acids, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
  • Emulsifiers (Mono- And Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin, 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.
