About CHRISTMAS CUPCAKES, CHOCOLATE

Bakery Fresh Christmas Cupcakes in chocolate flavor are a seasonal bakery item produced under The Kroger Co.'s Bakery Fresh in-store bakery label. These cupcakes belong to the cakes, cupcakes, and snack cakes category and are formatted as individually decorated chocolate cupcakes with holiday-themed icing and decorative elements. This specific USDA entry documents a formulation that contains partially hydrogenated oils in the icing component, a practice that was being phased out following the FDA's 2015 GRAS revocation and is flagged here as a legacy formulation indicator.

The cake component uses sugar, bleached enriched wheat flour, water, soybean oil, eggs, egg whites, alkali-processed cocoa, and modified corn starch, with minor ingredients including nonfat milk, multiple leavening agents, salt, xanthan gum, vital wheat gluten, emulsifiers (sorbitan monostearate, mono- and diglycerides, polysorbate 60, sodium stearoyl lactylate, soy lecithin), dextrose, natural and artificial flavors, and synthetic dyes Red 40 Lake, Blue 1 Lake, and Yellow 5 Lake. The icing contains vegetable shortening made from partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, sugar, corn syrup, and water — the partially hydrogenated oils are a source of artificial trans fats. Decorative elements include semisweet chocolate discs with multiple colorants and milk chocolate curls.

Allergens include wheat, eggs, milk, soy, and tree nuts (coconut, in the chocolate disc). Per 100 grams: 456 calories, 3.51 g protein, 70.18 g carbohydrates, 19.3 g fat, and 1.8 g dietary fiber.
