Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil, and soya lecithin, an industrial emulsifier. These pre-identified UPF ingredients are sufficient for classification as UPF. The product also includes a ready-to-eat filled pastry formulation, which further reflects industrial processing.
