Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Tuna salad is ultra-processed.

Produkt je ultra-zpracovaný (UPF), protože obsahuje průmyslově používané zahušťovadlo guma guar a také limetkovou šťávu z koncentrátu. Guma guar je izolovaný polysacharid (zahušťovadlo/stabilizátor), což je typický příznak ultra-zpracování podle NOVA. Limetková šťáva z koncentrátu je rovněž průmyslově upravená složka. Ostatní složky (tuňák, těstoviny, zelenina, olej, ocet, cukr, sůl, bylinky, koření) jsou převážně minimálně nebo mírně zpracované, ale přítomnost guma guar stačí k zařazení do kategorie UPF.
