Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Tuna & Sweetcorn Sandwich is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives and ultra-processed ingredients: palm oil and palm fat (highly refined oils), emulsifiers E471 and E472e (mono- and diglycerides and related emulsifiers), malted barley flour (industrial flavor/color enhancer), and refined/industrial sugars such as sugar. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation according to NOVA.
