Decorating Kit

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dextrin): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Confectioner'S Glaze, Carnauba Wax): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.

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