Ultra-Processed Food
NOVA Classification

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains multiple industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA UPF, including: palm oil (highly refined oil), emulsifiers (mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), modified maize starch, stabiliser (xanthan gum), preservative (calcium propionate, potassium sorbate), acidity regulator (acetic acid), lactic acid, and added colour (mixed carotenoids). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation.
