Analysis updated October 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This frosting is moderately processed and contains organic palm oil, which is high in saturated fats and raises environmental concerns. While it uses organic cane sugar and avoids artificial additives, the presence of multiple sugars and processed ingredients like modified tapioca starch limits its healthfulness. The product's clean label and organic certification are positive aspects, but the overall processing level and ingredient choices prevent a higher score.
