Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Gingerbread House Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup, Powdered Vegetable Shortening (Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate (Milk), Mono And Diglycerides)): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 2, Red 3, Blue 1, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Mono And Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Cellulose Gum, Gum Tragacanth): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
