There are no industrial additives such as artificial sweeteners, flavour enhancers, emulsifiers like mono- and diglycerides, gums, refined syrups (e.g., glucose syrup, maltodextrin), artificial flavours, or highly processed fats like palm fruit oil.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
