The ingredients list includes several ultra-processed additives and industrial ingredients such as emulsifier (soya lecithin), palm oil, flavourings, modified maize starch, stabiliser (E401), preservative (E200), and anticaking agent (E450). These additives and refined ingredients classify the product as ultra-processed according to NOVA.
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.
