Yes — Triple Layer Chocolate Celebration Cake is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This cake is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: soy lecithin (an emulsifier), palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), high-fructose corn syrup (an industrially processed sugar), soybean oil in the icing, mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers), sodium sorbate (a preservative), artificial flavor, and other natural flavors. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial formulation beyond basic culinary ingredients. The enriched wheat flour, vitamins and minerals, vanilla extract, baking soda, and cocoa powder alone would not make the product ultra-processed.

Yes — Triple Layer Chocolate Celebration Cake by Thorntons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cake is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: soy lecithin (an emulsifier), palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), high-fructose corn syrup (an industrially processed sugar), soybean oil in the icing, mono- and diglycerides (emulsifiers), sodium sorbate (a preservative), artificial flavor, and other natural flavors. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial formulation beyond basic culinary ingredients. The enriched wheat flour, vitamins and minerals, vanilla extract, baking soda, and cocoa powder alone would not make the product ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
