Yes — Milk Dessert is ultra-processed.
A processed milk dessert, not ideal for everyday eating.
This is a milk-based dessert made with reconstituted skimmed milk, buttermilk powder, sugar, and milk proteins. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch, palm oil, and flavourings. Modified maize starch is an industrially modified thickener, palm oil is a highly processed refined oil, and flavourings are industrial additives. Beta-carotene colouring does not drive the classification.
Yes — Milk Dessert is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a milk-based dessert made with reconstituted skimmed milk, buttermilk powder, sugar, and milk proteins. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains modified maize starch, palm oil, and flavourings. Modified maize starch is an industrially modified thickener, palm oil is a highly processed refined oil, and flavourings are industrial additives. Beta-carotene colouring does not drive the classification.
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.
