Common questions about Soy Drink

Is Soy Drink ultra-processed?

No — Soy Drink by Asda is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are water, soybeans, mineral (tricalcium phosphate), bacterial cultures, potassium iodate, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
