A 24-ingredient holiday cheesecake stacked with sugar, refined oils, margarine, modified starch, multiple gums, artificial flavors and two added colors. Whole wheat flour is window dressing on a heavily engineered dessert.

Why this verdict

24 ingredients with sugar #2, backed by invert sugar, glucose and molasses
Artificial flavors plus two added colors (caramel color, apocarotenal)
Refined oils and beta-carotene-dyed margarine drive 53% of calories from fat
Modified corn starch and four stacked gums signal a lab-built texture
Sodium benzoate preservative in the flavor system

Ingredients (18)

Cream Cheese (moderate) — Real dairy but carries added gums (xanthan, carob, guar) and saturated fat.
Sugar (concerning) — Second ingredient and the dominant nutritional driver; added sugar in liquid form spikes blood glucose and adds empty calories.
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR (safe) — A whole grain, but it's a minor structural ingredient here, not the point of the product.
Canola and/or Palm Oil (moderate) — Refined oils used for fat and texture; palm is heavy in saturated fat.
Margarine (palm oil, soybean oil, soy lecithin, beta carotene, vitamin A palmitate) (moderate) — Processed fat blend with emulsifier and added color; industrial spread, not butter.
Praline pecan grind (sugar, pecans, glucose, butter) (moderate) — Real pecans, but suspended in more sugar and glucose.
Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil, high in omega-6 and calorie-dense.
Eggs (dried) (safe) — Dried whole egg; a real ingredient providing structure and some protein.
Modified Corn Starch (concerning) — Industrially modified thickener — ultra-processed.
Natural and Artificial Flavors (concerning) — Lab flavoring with sodium benzoate preservative; the 'artificial' tag undercuts any natural framing.
Invert Sugar (concerning) — Yet another added sweetener stacked on top of sugar.
Molasses and caramel color (concerning) — More sugar plus an added color used purely for appearance.
Xanthan Gum (moderate) — Stabilizer — one of three gums stacked here.
Locust Bean Gum (moderate) — Second gum in the stabilizer stack.
Guar Gum (moderate) — Third gum in the stabilizer stack.
sodium benzoate (moderate) — Synthetic preservative riding in the flavor system.
Apocarotenal (color) (moderate) — Added orange-red colorant for cosmetic effect only.
cinnamon (safe) — Real spice, a small positive note.
