Common questions about Flavoured Black Tea

Is Flavoured Black Tea ultra-processed?

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains added flavouring (6%), which is an industrial formulation/additive used to modify taste. According to NOVA, such flavourings make the product an ultra-processed food, even though the base ingredient (tea) is minimally processed.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
