Yes — Thick & Creamy Custard is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives: modified maize starch (a chemically modified starch used as a thickener/stabiliser), palm oil (a highly refined industrial oil), milk protein (an isolated protein ingredient), and natural flavouring (an industrial flavour additive). According to the provided rules and NOVA criteria, the presence of any of these ingredients is sufficient to classify the product as UPF.

Yes — Thick & Creamy Custard by Salco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives: modified maize starch (a chemically modified starch used as a thickener/stabiliser), palm oil (a highly refined industrial oil), milk protein (an isolated protein ingredient), and natural flavouring (an industrial flavour additive). According to the provided rules and NOVA criteria, the presence of any of these ingredients is sufficient to classify the product as UPF.
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.
