Apple Tarte Tatin

Barcode 29004218

Yes — Apple Tarte Tatin is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrially processed additives.

This apple Tarte Tatin is classified as ultra-processed because it contains inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup. It also contains pectin; although pectin is traditionally used as a gelling agent, it was pre-identified here as an UPF ingredient and therefore contributes to the classification. The remaining ingredients are conventional baking ingredients and do not independently determine the UPF classification.
