Wal-Mart, CARROT CREME CAKE

About CARROT CREME CAKE

Marketside Carrot Creme Cake is a Walmart fresh bakery product sold under the Marketside brand. This is a carrot-flavored snack cake with a cream filling, belonging to the cakes, cupcakes, and snack cakes category. The formulation is notable for its extensive ingredient list and legacy use of multiple partially hydrogenated oil components.

Sugar leads, followed by water, bleached wheat flour (wheat allergen), and soybean oil. Eggs (egg allergen) and crushed pineapple are included. Diced dried carrots and invert sugar contribute flavor. Minor ingredients include a second enriched wheat flour, palm oil, nonfat milk (dairy), corn syrup, modified food starch, and vegetable shortening containing partially hydrogenated soybean oil and hydrogenated cottonseed oil — indicating a formulation with potential trans fat content predating the full FDA GRAS removal of partially hydrogenated oils. Additional partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oils appear twice more in the ingredient list. Whey (dairy), egg whites and yolks, mono- and diglycerides, soy lecithin (soy allergen), and soy flour are present. TBHQ appears twice as a preservative. Multiple synthetic dyes are listed including Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Red 40.
