Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Gravy granules is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Gravy granules are ultra-processed because they contain several industrially processed ingredients and additives: palm oil, a highly refined oil; natural flavouring, an extracted flavouring additive; barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer; and soya lecithin, an emulsifier. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation. The fortified wheat flour, potato starch, salt, onion powder, caramel colour, and added vitamins and minerals do not independently determine the classification.
