About CARROT NUT CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FILLING, CARROT NUT

Archer Farms Carrot Nut Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Filling is a refrigerated bakery item sold under Target's legacy Archer Farms premium private label, which was phased out in favor of Good & Gather beginning in 2019. The product consists of small carrot cake cupcakes with a cream cheese filling, incorporating pecans as a nut inclusion. Per 100 grams, it provides 395 calories, 20.99 grams of total fat, 49.38 grams of carbohydrates, 2.47 grams of protein, and 1.2 grams of dietary fiber.

The formulation lists icing sugar as the first ingredient (indicating a high sugar frosting component leads the overall weight), followed by sugar in the cake. Carrots are the characterizing ingredient. Bleached enriched wheat flour provides the cake structure, with cream cheese (cream, skim milk powder, bacterial culture, salt, and carob bean gum) as the filling base. The fat system uses non-hydrogenated vegetable oil shortening (canola, palm, modified palm, and palm kernel oils) plus soybean and canola vegetable oil. Pecans are a distinct tree nut inclusion. Wheat gluten is added for structure. A conventional leavening blend of sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, cornstarch, monocalcium phosphate, and calcium sulfate is used. Hydrogenated vegetable oil appears in the ingredient list (distinct from partially hydrogenated oil) as part of the emulsifier system alongside diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides. Natural and artificial flavors are declared. Beta carotene provides orange color. Preservatives include fumaric acid, potassium sorbate, and sorbic acid.

Allergens include wheat, milk, eggs, soy, and tree nuts (pecans). No artificial dyes are used. The presence of hydrogenated vegetable oil in a minor emulsifier role (rather than as a bulk fat) is distinct from partially hydrogenated oil and does not carry the same trans fat concern.
