Yes — Top Iced Holy Christmas Cake by Marks&Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives such as glucose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, invert sugar syrup, humectant glycerol, gelling agent pectin, stabiliser xanthan gum (E415) and E413, raising agents E450 and E501, and colourings. These extracted and refined additives and syrups classify it as an ultra-processed food according to the NOVA system.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
